ARGUMENT35 - The following appeared in the summary of a study on headaches suffered by the residents of Mentia. Salicylates are members of the same chemical family as aspirin, a medicine used to treat headaches. Although many foods are naturally rich in salicylates, for the past several decades food-processing companies have also been adding salicylates to foods as preservatives. This rise in the commercial use of salicylates has been found to correlate with a steady decline in the average number of headaches reported by participants in our twenty-year study. Recently, food-processing companies have found that salicylates can also be used as flavor additives for foods. With this new use for salicylates, we can expect a continued steady decline in the number of headaches suffered by the average citizen of Mentia. Salicylates与阿司匹林属于统一系是否能说明它对头疼有疗效？ Salicylates在食品中使用的增加与研究中平均得头疼的人数减少直接的相关性，是否可以说明二者存在因果联系，被研究的人如何选取，是否具有代表性，他们在研究进行中所吃的食物中有多少这种物质？ Salicylates作为相位添加剂， 但Mentia的居民经常吃还有这种添加剂的食物么？ ARGUMENT130 - The following appeared in the annual report of a chain of stores that sell supplies for do-it-yourself home improvements. Current reports indicate that sales of new homes nationwide declined by 9 percent during the past year, while sales of existing homes increased by 16 percent. Thus we can expect that the percentage of homeowners who will be making repairs or improvements to their homes will also increase. In addition, people who buy existing homes will have more money left over after the purchase to spend on home improvements. Finally, people who buy existing homes are more likely to make improvements themselves, as opposed to paying someone else. These factors combined indicate we can expect an increasing demand for products in all our stores nationwide, thus increasing our profits in the coming year. 买二手房和新房人数的变化并不能说明更多的人需要修理房屋，并且二手房不需要维修 购买老房子的人会比买新房子的人未必会留有更多的钱，也许买老房子的人本来钱就不多，即使真的留有更多的钱，未必就会花在修理房屋上，也许会花在别的地方。 购买老房子者不一定都会自己动手，也许雇别人修理，更专业，更方便。 即使真的需求增长了，但是成本的增加和竞争也
